Information and Details about the Tourmaster Coaster 3 Jackets made by Tour Master

Leather and motorcycles have always gone hand in hand and the Tourmaster Coaster 3 Jacket fits the bill. You can get that clean and simple look or go edgy with the racing stripes version, either way this Tourmaster jacket is a precision tailored leather jacket, made from top grain cowhide for durability. With on-board armor to keep you safeguarded, a removable liner if it gets chilly out and several vents if it warms up while riding, the Coaster 3 Jacket is a secure choice for an all around riding jacket with a refined style.

All in all, I am very happy with this jacket.First and foremost, the jacket looks cool as heck -- I got the vertical white stripe. Black and white will always be classic. For all those who think neon colors are critical, I have a 4.00 safety vest that fits over the jacket for evening or pre-dawn rides.Fit is spot on -- I am 5ft 9 in, 180 lb, 43 in chest, 33 in waist -- I ordered the large.I am usually difficult to fit in American-cut jackets, but this has a nice trim cut.As soon as I received the jacket, I could tell it was of high quality1. The leather is nice and thick, but is stiff. I fully expect the jacket to break in wonderfully.2. Stitching appears to be of high quality and gives that feeling of security that the jacket won't rip upon contact with a hard surface.3. Weight -- it feels substantial without being ridiculously heavy.4. Protective padding in shoulders, elbows and back that fit exactly where they are supposed to -- well enough that I don't think about it when I ride.5. Quality zippers I've come across jackets that just lose me with the zippers that continually snag and feel as if they are made of a cheap plastic.The only potential con is the narrowness of the forearm sleeves when the quilted liner is in. Its quite snug and will make anything but a thin shirt feel tight. I ride without the sleeve liners in simple to unzip and remove and ride with the torso liner in. The jacket is comfortable to mid-low 40's, so far. I'll put the sleeve liners back in if it gets colder.The positive side of the sleeves, however, is that I like to wear snug fitting leather armored gloves without gauntlets. Since the sleeves are very snug fitting, I do not get any air up the sleeves when they are fully zipped. I could not get away with this with my last jacket if it was below 55 degrees F.The jacket is comfortable to the low 70's, but its a little too warm for me by 75 degrees F on a sunny day -- even with the liner out and vents open. It was a good jacket for a long weekend ride when the temps went from 58 degrees F to 73 degrees F.I have had the jacket for several weeks now and have used it for three 8-plus hour rides and several shorter rides. After the first couple of rides, the jacket lost the new stiffness and has been comfortable. Like a seat, any time you do not think about it during the ride, it means it is doing its job.Would I purchase it again....In a heartbeat

Below are more Tour Master Reviews from our online customers.

Hopefully they can help you find the right item and make the best buying decision.

I bought this to be used during cold days riding around and commuting in the San Francisco Bay area. When temperature dips down to mid 30's in the morning it kept me warm enough with just a t-shirt underneath. Used it when it was raining and kept me dry. The warmest it has gotten here so far was 70's. It's a ok with the liners with all the vents open. I'll test it more when it gets really warm. Size wise it's true to size. I wear a 44 and I bought a size large. plenty of straps which was great for fine adjustment and l like the numerous pocket.

Have worn Tourmaster gear for many years, mostly the Air series jacket and pants, and generally stopped riding in the winter. Last year converted 2010 Goldwing to Trike and extended my riding season. The Air series has the mesh on the outside and wind liner inside and I felt the smooth material on the outside would block the wind better in the winter and still give the option to zip off sections for more air flow as the day heated up - proved to be right in my opinion. I took a ride in 30 deg. weather with a Gerbing heated liner and was comfortable and had plenty of moving room for my arms. This jacket has done well blocking the wind and, with the Gerbing heated liner, has extended my riding to year round.

Pros: Comfortable fit, quality build, good materials, great price for what you get

Cons: Can't think of any cons. Wish the wrist would open a little more for air.

I have only been able to use the jacket a few times, but the feel and movement of this jacket is great. I am 6'02' and about 220 lbs. with long arms. The x-large fits great. The sleeves fall right at the base of my hand when my arms are stretched out to the handlebar. It does not feel like you're wearing a balloon when the inner liner is out. For southern Oregon, the weight of this jacket is perfect. There is actually room that you can wear a shirt a sweatshirt underneath if desired. There is lots of storage with inner pockets for phones, wallets, etc. The pockets are duplicated on the jacket shell when the liner is out. The build quality seems really good and I expect to get a lot of use from it. I have not tried it in the rain.

I've had this jacket for 10 months now and love it, great ventilation, warm with included liner, keeps you dry in light rain, I have not tried it in heavy rain yet. I like enough that I am considering ordering a second in different color.

Pros: Price, waterproof outer great for staying dry, and no mid liner, light for a 34 jacket

Cons: all the fasteners are velcro, it is easy and convenient, but can stick to itself in the wrong places

I love this jacket. Just ride for a little longer than 6 hours last night from Aberdeen MD to Chesapeake VA and in the low 50's at over 80 MPH on 95 South is when I finally started to get chili.Pulled over to fill up the tank, installed the quilted thermal liner, and did not have any issues the rest of the trip 3 hours ishI got the silver and black, the reflective piping is GREAT. can be seen from a very respectable distance.The hand warmer pockets could be larger. I will get another when and if this one wears out.

I love how the jacket feels right off the hanger. It is well constructed although a snap came off when I took the liner off. I'm glad it came with extra snaps. overall it performs very well letting air flow through keeping me comfortable yet protected. when the temps drop I have the liner and waterproof lining to keep me warm and dry. I am a happy rider www.easymoneyforall.biz

I purchased The Sonora Jacket as I didn't have a Medium weight Jacket. The Rain Liner has worked flawlessly. The many interior and exterior pockets are a real plus. This is is not my first Tourmaster Jacket so I expected the quality to be first rate which it is IMO. The Inner Sleeve Securing Loops were a bit of a hassle locating them when re installing the Quilted liner and Rain liner. Overall I'm very happy with the jacket. And I would certainly recommend it to anyone. Watching the Video about this jacket may the purchase easier.

The Intake 3 has become my favorite riding jacket. From the Hi Vis color to the easily removable linings, this jacket does it all for me. the large size fits me quite well. I have a 44 chest.I also have an older Transition 2 jacket for the really cold days, but so far the Intake 3 has kept me warm down to 38-40 degrees. I would definitely recommend this jacket.

I would order the mediun if i had it to do over. I am 5'10 185# and I can still put a heavy shirt under it. I really like the coat and the reason that i didnt return was that being able to add clothing under this coat I will be able to ride in 40 degree weather. But bottem line excellent coat like pockets and best air flow in mesh jacket that I have had. Would tell a friend

Have worn this jacket on a couple of 250 day rides so far. Well tailored, comfortable fit, plenty of useful pockets, armor seems to be in the right places. Liner is easier than most to use. Fine value for the price, highly recommended.

This is a great jacket overall. The jacket actually fits well, which is a rarity in my case. I'm 6'6, 240lbs and typical tall sized cycle clothing is usually still way to short. The XLT size was perfect for me. Only complaint is the zipper has separated at the bottom twice on me while riding. Overall a great product for the money.

Great jacket This is my second Tourmaster jacket and because of the first I bought this one. No regretts. Road a 1,000 miles a couple weekends ago in nice warm weather and the jacket was as cool as a mesh jacket can be. Really is a nice jacket. The only minor con are the inside zippers. They are a little flimsy and like to come a part easily, but once you get use to them it is no biggy. It is a great jacket

I usually get the joe rocket Phoenix jackets, but this was around the same price so I thought I would try it. Glad I did. It is a little big on me without the liner and under-jacket, but that just let's more air flow when moving. The padding stays in place very well. Most importantly, the zipper works very well. Tons of pockets

I was looking to ride with more protection but my leather was to hot for summer comfort. The tourmaster jacket fills that need, I seem to be stuck between an XXL and a XXXL and went with the 3X. I like the jacket for the reasons stated and may order the 2X for comparison. Excellent quality, price shipping.

I have been riding in the early spring weather in PA with this jacket. I had the previous model of the jacket some years ago and loved it. This model fits the arms better and is just as air tight. The collar on these is also really nice, makes a good seal around the neck without chafe. I have not ridden in rain but the last one worked pretty well for wet riding. I had a Harley Electra Glide when I was using the previous model Tourmaster Transition. Now I am riding a Triumph Sprint ST which is more of a sport touring bike. I am in the wind a lot more on this bike and the jacket really works. I unzipped two of the front vents on the jacket on one ride and had to stop immediately and zip them back up because I was freezing They will be great in the summer. I was riding in 45 degree weather that day. I bought an extra large tall and it fits just right with the liner in. I am 6'-2 and 250# with a big gut. On the bike while riding it is loose enough to be comfortable but not flap at all. Well worth the money in my opinion.

Im a big guy but this tourmaster jacket fits me great. I wore it in 37 degree weather while riding, no air leaking any where and nice and warm with the insulsted liner. Its a quality piece and I would recomend it to any one looking for a really nice riding jacket.

Great all around touring jacket, lots of features and enough pockets to loose stuff. Hi vis yellow is bright enough to be seen but also has enough black not to be obnoxious. A good value from Tourmaster.

I live in the desert of Arizona and work in the alpine mountain area up north, and this makes for some interesting climate changes just commuting to work 3000' to 7000'. I bought the Flex 3 just for that reason and it hasn't let me down yet I leave home at 105 degrees and drive into rain and 60 degrees with nothing more than a quick zipping of the outer shell to the mesh layer. Fantastic

After riding with this jacket for 3700 miles, I will say it is good buy. It was comfortable from 47 with rain to 106 with 45 mph wind. It is some what cumbersome to put in or remove the liners but just have patience. All in all great jacket. I also got the matching pants and they are also good. I am 155 lbs and 5'-10 and I got the large.

I don't often review products but this jacket deserves one. I ordered this Fri and received it todayTues so kudos to CA for fast shipping. On to the jacket. First, sizing I'm 5'11 175 lbs and wear a 42 jacket. My arms are slightly long 34 sleeve. The medium as recommended in the sizing chart fits perfectly, with the liners in it was snug but not tight and the sleeves are perfect length. However, as another reviewer noted the sleeves aren't large. So if you are heavier or have large arms you might want to go with the large size. Second, construction. It is very well made using high quality materials. There are some very nice touches the cuffs are bell shaped allowing gloves to be worn outside or inside the sleeve. Large outside pockets and many inside pockets. The waterproof liner is lined with soft mesh making it very comfortable. the padded tail is long enough to cover your lower back when leaning forward. All of the protectors should provide good protection and were in the right places, no adjustment required. They aren't race grade but should be more than adequate for the road hopefully I'll never get the chance to test them. The mesh has a larger area then my other jacket, the Teknic supervent so it should give even better airflow on hot daysAll in all this is a very good jacket which will be suitable for three season use. I am very happy that i bought it. and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Flex 3 jacket is the most versatile jacket I ever owned. Takes a little time to convert the jacket but I'm sure I'll get faster with every use. I'm 5'10 185 Lbs and I bought a medium. I read alot of revues and found many people ordering 1 size smaller than usual. They are right. The medium fits me perfect.

Pros: light weight, great protection, very warm, tons of vents, great build quality

Cons: no rain hood, no zipper expansion at cuffs.

First and for most i would like to thank COMPACC, originally had purchased the sliders quest 4 jacket but due to a manufacturer defect had to return the jacket. COMPACC contacted me immediately upon receipt of my jacket to inform me they did not have any more of my size and would not be receiving any more. They offered the transition to me as a replacement, thank you for your great customer service I have been using this jacket for 2 months now in a variety of weather from mid thirties to high seventies. The jacket has preformed flawlessly. Right out of the box i noticed the jacket to be substantially lighter than the quest, and assorted to have a little more build quality. Size was true to fit. So far this jacket has offered, and preformed as advertised Will be able to provide a follow up after a few more month's. So far so good awesome product would recommend to all

I bought this jacket because it is the only one that I could find that offers medium tall sizes, I'm 6'3 155 lbs and this jacket fit me absolutely perfect. Arm length was perfect and inner lining coat fits me snug. The only problem I have with the jacket i the straps around the waist do not have enough velcro on them to tighten them up to where I would like, however this is my only complaint. The jacket is pretty heavy with the armor inside, but I think its a pretty standard weight compared to other jackets. Would definitely recommend this jacket, especially if you are my size and have trouble finding jackets that will fit you properly.

Pros: It's a Tourmaster. Great all weather jacket, that fits well and protects.

Cons: There are no cons.

This is the third Tourmaster AIR jacket that I have owned. Nice and cool in the summer with great protection. Nice and warm with the included liners for cold air riding.This is a well made product, just like you would expect from Tourmaster.

Great Jacket, I have long arms 180# 5'11 so I went with the X-Large Tall. On cold times going up or down 101, I can feel the cold through the front Zipper.Not that much of a big deal.2 months.No signs of wearI Ride every day.

Have had the Intake Air 2 for four years and it has been fantastic. Use it for riding on my BMW dualsport and Harley. Bought the Intake Air 3 for my Harley rides so both will last longer. A few changes but still a great jacket in cool wheather or the hot weather we have in Nevada. Protection all the time.

This jacket gets more comfortable the more you wear it. Good quality, very good aire flow without the liners and very good warmth and wind protection with the liners. I have not had the opportunity to test the water proof liner yet. The Hi-Viz really pops and I notice people SEEING me. The longer sleeves annoyed me at first bu they do cover your wristsgloves nice when it is cooler. I am very happy with this jacket and would highly recommend it as a very good 3 season jacket.

The Flex III is an improvement over previous Flex jackets in that the rain liner is integral with the outer jacket shell rather than a separate component. It replaces the old rain liner and outer panel with a single, easier to use shell. I was wearing the old Flex when I went down at 60 mph and slid on the pavement. The jacket was shredded, but my skin was intact. I'm sure the Flex III is every bit as protective if not better. Plus, it looks great

I ride in mountain areas where the temp varies over 50 degrees a day. This jacket is perfect. The liner makes it good for weather into the 40's. The outside cover is good down into the 50's. The mesh is good for anything from 70's and up. The outside cover may be good for a light or short rain, but I would still wear a rain jacket in a heavy all day rain. The only disadvantage is it takes a while to put all the parts together. The main reason for that is they zip in multiple areas for good protection. That is a fair trade off.

I just want to say that your video is terrific! Please do this for all your jackets and anything else you can demo. Try to show us how easy or difficult it may be to zip in liners, etc. It will help me make a good decision and buy from you. This jacket looks terrific and I am very interested in this item.

I bought this jacket because my leather all-around jacket was worn out. I have an Alpinestars suit which I wear for extended rides, but needed something to ride more locally. This jacket seems to fill the need very well. I recently rode 280 miles each way to Portland, OR in cool to warm weather and got a little rain each way. The jacket was comfortable and dry. On the warm stretches, I removed the liner, which rolled up very small, and the jacket was fine in 80 degrees. That night, put the liner back in and came home in 45 degrees. The liner removes and re-installs easily. All-in-all I'm very happy with this jacket. The only criticism I have is it's a little bulky to wear casually because of the armor. You can't have everything.

I bought this thinking it would be for just the hottest days. Now I wear it on many other days because it is easy to just use a pullover to make it a bit warmer, or not when sun has been on pavement awhile. As winter approaches, the liner with a pullover or two make this an equivalent of a heavier jacket. It should be purchased with some extra space. That helps air flow around the chest, and leaves room for those pullovers when airflow is not so critical.

This is a well made mesh jacket with very good protection for the money. The only gripe I have is the sleeves are tight with the liners in. They have snap cinches on the forearms to adjust them, but they are completely useless. The forearms are just right on the loosest adjustment wo the liners in. I'm 5'10' & 195lbs. The large is perfect otherwise. If you plan to use this as a 3 season jacket with the liners, you may want to go up a size. I bought this as a summer only mesh jacket and am happy with it.

I have this jacket in the 2XLT. I like the dual liner set up where it can be worn with the rain liner or the thermal liner or both or neither. I've found that the rain liner does a good job of keeping me dry without being overly suffocating. The thermal liner adds a bit of warmth, but doesn't make this a cold weather jacket. With both liners in, it starts to get chilly when the sun goes down and the temps drop below 60F. The jacket has plenty of pockets, with four exterior pockets and three interior pockets on the shell and each of the liners.

Jacket does a great job with airflow. If riding on a cool morning 60's I have found have something around the neck helps and a long sleeve. Otherwise it is a chilly ride. Yes summers in CA do get chilly, especially on San Francisco Peninsula.Fit & finish is good. Jacket is comfortable. I recently rode in the Sacramento CA area - 100degrees - and was not hot. Looks like it maybe a 3 season jacket. I ride all year & my other TourMaster jacket Transition 3 is waterproof - without the waterpoof liner like this jacket. I ride a F6B Honda Goldwing Cruiser - full faring. A minor warning. I am 6'4' with 38' sleeve length and wear a 3x. The 3x regular jacket sleeves are way to long even for me. That is why 4 and not 5 stars.

Cons: Fit is a little bit over size. The jacket is heavier than it looks, but probably because of the first grade material.

I like the jacket. It is first rate. I have received compliments on the look. The jacket is a bit bulky and the sleeves seem a little longer than necessary. Have not worn the jacket with the liners both in, although they were in when I tried it on. I am afraid a smaller size would not allow me to wear with the liners installed.

Have been enjoying the mesh jacket without the liner and shell. Messed up the shell in a small accident and found out you can't get just the shell replacement. It takes just a little to reassemble the liner into the jacket so it's not a quick-change, but on a long trip there's no space for multiple jackets with armor. Had to return the size I got as multiple web sites had multiple sizing charts and I picked wrong. Take a tight chest measurement and use the chart Competition Accessories has. Tourmaster sizing seems a little strange as I ended up with a medium jacket and extra large overpants.

This is my second Flex 3 Jacket. After 4 years of regular use my first one began to look old. This jacket performs well in all weather conditions. It's very easy to convert from a winter to a rain to a hot weather jacket. All with good protection for the wearer.

Pros: Quality, look, feel of inner liner. Contour of jacket. Very warm. Used it while snowmobiling and was very warm

Cons: Neck area seems a little tight. Would like a longer Velcro strap on neck area for sure.

If your not sure of the sizing, go up a size. I went with XL because I was between two sizes and I'm glad I went bigger. The waist straps take up a good portion of extra jacket material that you may have. Also wished the neck area was bigger. The Velcro strap for it is short in my opinion. Needs to be longer for people with thick necks. Very glad I bought this jacket. Very comfortable and warm. The price was great for the quality jacket you get. Well worth the money.

Just ordered and received two transition 3's one for me one for my wife.The lake out front Huronis still hard as a rock and air temp got to for 40s. Well it keep me pretty warn on my first ride. The ordered jackets fit just right according to the sizing chart, and quality is good for the price point it's not a 600 dollar jacket some of the sewing was not perfect but the service from Competition Accessories was outstanding I would order again.

I am 6'4, 210, 44XLong, 17 neck, 3738 sleeve. Not an easy fit. I ordered the Tourmaster Sonora Air, hi-viz yellowgreenblack in LargeTall. This jacket is seriously hi-viz. Shocked my gf. The fit is near perfect with the liners in, and not far off without those liners. The sleeves are precisely at the base of my palms, arms stretched forward. Free three day shipping from the manufacturer.The main zipper on the mesh outer is a double. It will zip up or down, unfortunately there is no lock to keep it down. Possible, not probable, that it could begin to unzip in a slide. A handy seamstress could fix that. The neck opening is too big. You'll need a choker or bandana to keep the bugs and rocks out. The mesh is more of a heavy soft gauze. I don't think it would do well in a long slide, or even a short slide on chip-seal. This is probably a one-crash jacket. I don't like the baggy elbows that go with the current fashion of pre-curved arms, but the inner armor cinches take most of that up.This is the only 200 dollar range jacket I looked at seriously that has the CE rated armor at all the primary contact points, and can be cinched to the place it would probably stay put in a slide. The armor covering appears to be a dense weave of no-nonsense fabric. The shoulders and elbows would probably not fail unless at track speeds. I quit counting pockets at 9. I stood on it and pulled the side seams with all my might hoping they would separate. They didn't stretch far enough out of shape to bitch about. The mesh is almost completely flow-thru. The is very little occlusion even sitting still. The jacket, except for the neck opening, seals nicely and would probably be dry in a downpour, and possibly extended rain. With both liners it is warm at 55 F behind the Road King windshield. Fit and finish are on par with jackets twice the price. I have looked and touched and tried on just about all of them. For the dollar, particularly if you need a multi-climate touring jacket, this one is difficult to beat. There are jackets as good, but none better, especially if you are tall. It is has a few minor shortcomings, but to get built in armor, hi- viz day or night, protection from sunburn certainly, and at least some protection in a slide all for 200 and change.. I'll take that.

Pros: Plenty of vents for the warm ride and closes up tight wliner for the cold.

Cons: Offering high vis would be nice.

This is my 2nd jett series 3 jacket, I flat wore the first one out after many miles of service. I wear the jacket from 45 degrees to 90. Very good quality. I'm 6' 1 and 215 and the XL fits great. A very good all around jacket at a great price.

Pros: Stell well made for the price, more vents than previous, eliminated snaps on lower pockets, added back pouch

Cons: Cut smaller than older version.

This is my third Tourmaster Transition 1 for wife, 2 for me. Several improvements to the venting. Replaced collar snap with velcro. Luckily I lost 20 pounds since I bought the Transition 1 or this one would have been too small 6' 1, 195 lbs now. Large Tall is a perfect fit with the liner installed - not sure I can get my heated vest under it.I had my last one for 5 years before is started fading and I broke the zipper pull. Great jacket for riding in cold and cool weather.

i have had their jackets before and have always been pleased...worth the cost in my opinion..i bought the black and silver.i do hope the black doesnt fade out.although i did get 5 years out of my other tour master

Cons: wearing all three layers changes the sizing mesh has no crash resistance

I like and recommend this jacket for comfort, fit and looks, but there are a few problems I am replacing a mediumtall with another mediumtall after a minor low-side really chewed up the mesh part of the sleeve. My first jacket fit perfectly, but the second replacement one is too long in the sleeves. Did Tourmaster change the sizing of the talls Also, if you buy one that fits without the three layers, it won't fit WITH the three layers, so even though that inner warmth layer seems like a good idea, I never use mine. Also the velcro strap around the cuff wears out way too soon. Still, all things considered it's a good jacket.

I love this jacket I have worn it when temperatures were down in the low 30s and was warm with the liners. I have also worn it in warm 80 degree days and was very comfortable. My only complaint is the zippers to hold the liners in are small and i have had them split from the bottom on a few different occasions. However it is always easy to get them back apart and fix. I generally wear a large and that is what I ordered for the jacket. It is a great fit. Very true to size.

After a lot of looking I finally bought this jacket. Being new to GA, I knew I was going to need something with good airflow. Fit with the liners in seems pretty true to size. With the liners out its a bit loose, which I expected. But there are enough adjustments to make up for that. Which brings me to my one complaint about this jacket. The Velcro closure on one sleeve came loose from its backing on one of the first times I used it. I had the same thing happen on a pair of icon gloves and its easily repaired with super glue. But I guess I expected better from tourmster qc department. Aside from that I like the jacket. Plenty of pockets, good airflow and having bought the yellow version I do feel somewhat more visible. For GA, I think this will be a good three season, if not year round jacket.

Good results with Transition 2 - SugarHillCTDRecommended by Reviewer: Yes

Pros: Good at varied temperatures, good in lighter wet conditions

Cons: Velcro could be longer lasting

For the price, a really good jacket. I used mine as my only jacket for 4 years and it has held up pretty well. Wife had to replace my collar velcro last year and now the cuff velcro is getting weak. But no other material problems so far. Cuff material has just started to fray slightly.Wife's identical jacket still looks great- but she logs many less miles than I do- she is a passenger only.In the time we have had these jackets, we only had part of one single day where they were too hot- and it was over 100F. Lining out and vents open normally keeps us cool, and we always ride ATGATT OK, probably 99 of the time.I am buying the Transition 3.

This is my second Tourmaster Flex jacket, my first Series 3. It handles the weather around Houston well, including light rain. I am satisfied with and recommend it. It has enough reflective material to be easily visible at night.

Pros: good ventilation, along with good wind-stopping, waterproof in light rain.

Cons: VERY snug fit, no room for another layer beyond the quilted liner.

The good for the price, a very well made piece of riding gear. Took it out today in not-very-warm weather. Ventilation seems adequate, no cold spots like with a full mesh jacket. It does seem to balloon and flutter, as though, with all 4 vents open at freeway speed, the exhaust vent can't handle the incoming air, and you can feel the bike reacting to that. BUT, and it's a large but, it is cut very snug. Someone needs to tell Tourmaster that a 46 Tall is NOT a 46. I've never worn anything larger than a 44, but with the quilted liner in I'd be hard-pressed to fit even a very light down jacket under this coat. So, not really 4 seasons, but very adequate for 3 season use.

Pros: Kept me dry in the rain, kept me warm when it got to 42 degrees, kept me well ventilated in the heat

Cons: The black portion of the sleeve faded from the sun. Not sure if this is normal wear

First riding jacket I've owned.In fact my wife and I both have this jacket which we were using for a cross country trip this summer. I was concerned about them being to hot, after I figured out where all the vents were there was a lot of air moving through you at highway speed. We got as cool as 42 degrees and even without the liner I was warm enough to stay comfortable. We never had an all day rain to go through, but the 4-5 hr rains we rode through we stayed dry, including the pockets. The black areas on the sleeves faded from the sun,not sure if thats normal. Overall both jackets performed well and I would buy them again and recommend them to anyone needing a complete jacket system and doesn't want to pay a lot more than the price of this jacket. The only reason I gave it a 4 star and not a 5 star is because of the fading on the sleeve. Some people may not like that.

As with all Tourmaster products, this is a very well-made garment. This is proven in the weight of the garment. It is very heavy.The reflective material on the jacket, while slim, is very visible when light strikes it. The 1st thing I did when I received this was to remove the liners. The liners are a waterproof liner and a thermal liner which can be used individually or together.While Tourmaster marks the connectors in white and gray to differentiate them, this is not a jacket that you want to be putting together on the road. The many zippers and hook and loop connectors that are used to make the jacket so good 10 to make putting it together a pain in the ass. Thus, most people use this as a summer jacket and a winter jacket while not bothering to play with it in spring and fall.I would guess that trying to put the rain liner in while on the road will be complicated and neither is quick nor easy as putting on a rain jacket.

Someone should tell Tourmaster's producers that an XL Tall size should actually BE an XL Tall size.The cut is so tight, that adding another layer under the quilted liner would be difficult if not impossible, and I'm talking about something relatively compressible like a down vest or even a sweatshirt. The sleeves are cut so tightly that the adjustment straps on my fairly skinny arms are totally unnecessary, even without the quilted liner, when wearing just a sweatshirt.Also, for some reason, the jacket billows out in the back with or without the vents being open, at freeway speeds. This is so forceful that, the first time it happened, it affected the handling of the bike. Now I am continually worried about this on my freeway commutes. As to overall quality, the jacket arrived with both sleeve armors installed upside-down. There is no velcro at the collar closure, making its too-short tab totally useless. There were dangling threads at many of the seams. This product needs some serious scrutiny by Tourmaster.Recommended with caution.

I had a Series 2 for daily riding 5 days a week for over 3 years and decided to get the Series 3, since the zipper pull on my Series 2 broke, bad mistake. I ordered and received the same size but the Series 3 runs SMALL for starters. Then with the exception of them changing the collar and sleeve closures which are alittle nicer there doesn't seem to be any change. Actually if you ride with something around your neck the new closure might not close as it is short. Also seems like the outside pocket openings are smaller.

If you do not have a jacket then this is a great jacket but if you have a series 2 and it is still in riding condition then keep it.

I wish I could send it back but I have ridden with it a couple of times. Oh they shipped mine with two elbow protectors in the left sleeve just one in the right so much for quality control.

I read several reviews of this jacket before buying it, including a glowing one from WebBikeWorld, so I was pretty excited to buy one...until I got it.The good it fits well, and the design is good re features, zippers, pockets, liner, etc. I have no issues in any of these areas...but...The bad The primary reason I buy motorcycle gear is protection. If it's not effective in crash protection, then there is no reason to buy it. This jacket has some of the cheesiest armor I've seen in any jacket, the back protector is a thin slab of foam, and the shell is very very thin. Even the double fabric areas are way too thin. I have been around the block a few times in the 25 years I've been riding courier riding, racing, etc and I am pretty certain that this jacket would explode if the wearer crashed in it at any sort of speed.I bought this to replace the FG Kilimanjaro that became too big when I lost some weight. That jacket was way more sturdy, had much better armor, and in general, was a jacket that would have a shot at protecting you in a crash.NOTE The Sliders Quest 4 jacket is about 900 better than this one, and it's cheaper. Sadly, the 3XL was a little small for me, so I had to send it back and get this POS. If you're looking at this, go look at the Sliders Quest 4 instead. It is superior in every way including price.
